Hey guys, I put in some el glow gauges, they worked perfectly for a couple of days, looked great! However the other day i turned the car on, and they didn't light up. I checked the grounds, the gauges themselves, anyone got any ideas!?!?!

take them out and see if they work outside of the car with another electrical source. Then if not Id talk to the place you got them from.

It's usually a bad transformer. But if you have the type that changes from blue to green, check the connections on the back of the switch. Alot of times they break because they're crappy and unprotected. Just look very closely and be careful because I've been zapped quite a few times trying to figure out where the little thing was mounted below my steering wheel. It hurts. I eventually moved it so it just bearly peeks out from under my dash.
